At SoLoCo we are constantly inspired by those around us whether in our community or on the other side of the world. So, we have decided to start up a series where we will post up stories, videos and images that we find inspiring. We invite you to do the same and let us know if anything or anybody has inspired you to start your venture, how and why.
